Adasa Group, an online operation promising 1% daily returns on Bitcoin investments, registered its domain "adasagroup.net" privately on March 21, 2020. The company provides no verifiable information about its ownership or leadership, a common characteristic of investment schemes. The only named figure, "Elizabet," is identified as CEO in promotional videos speaking Spanish, but her full name, credentials, and background remain undisclosed.
The company's website defaults to Spanish, and traffic data indicates a strong focus on Spanish-speaking regions. Mexico accounts for 56% of visitors, Peru 27%, and Uruguay 10%. This geographic distribution suggests the operation originates from one or more of these countries, or at least targets them heavily.
Adasa Group sells no retail products or services. Its business model relies entirely on affiliate membership. Affiliates recruit others to join and invest in the scheme. This structure means no external revenue source supports the promised returns.
Investors deposit Bitcoin into the system, choosing from tiers ranging from $50 to $10,000. These "packages" include Pack 50 ($50), Pack 100 ($100), Pack 200 ($200), Pack 500 ($500), Pack 1000 ($1000), Pack 5000 ($5000), and Pack 10,000 ($10,000). The company promises a consistent 1% daily return on these investments, with no stated end date for the payouts.
Recruitment is central to the compensation plan. Adasa Group pays commissions through a unilevel structure, which caps at five levels. An affiliate recruits individuals directly below them on level 1. Those recruits then bring in others, who land on level 2, and so on.
Commissions are calculated as a percentage of the Bitcoin invested by downline members. Level 1 recruits generate a 5% commission for their referrer. Level 2 recruits provide 2%, and levels 3 through 5 yield 1% each. The company also mentions a "Career Plan" offering a 7% bonus for every $100,000 "billed," though it does not define what "billed" measures or how it is tracked.
Joining Adasa Group as an affiliate is technically free. However, participating in the income opportunity requires a minimum $50 Bitcoin investment. This entry requirement immediately places participants into the investment scheme.
Adasa Group claims to operate as "a startup dedicated 100% to trading in cryptocurrencies," often citing a "trading bot" as the source of its high daily returns. But the company offers no evidence of this trading activity. It provides no verifiable transaction records, independent audits, or any other proof of external revenue generation.
The absence of a legitimate revenue stream, coupled with high, fixed daily returns, points to a classic Ponzi scheme. Such schemes use money from new investors to pay off earlier investors. Adasa Group is not registered to offer securities in any jurisdiction, meaning its operations constitute securities fraud.
The scheme's sustainability depends entirely on continuous recruitment and new capital infusions. When the flow of new investments slows, the company cannot meet its payment obligations, leading to an inevitable collapse. Most participants in such schemes ultimately lose their money, with only early entrants or top recruiters potentially profiting. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission encourages investors to report suspected fraudulent activities through its online complaint form.
